Personally, I consider this to be the better of the two for an elemental shaman, and likely a restoration shaman (not to imply either helm is unobtainable or undesirable for a Holy Paladin).

As an Elemental Shaman, haste tends to be better than crit at most gear levels. Crit comes easily enough from talents and raid buffs, haste not nearly as much. Regardless, the difference is fairly minimal in the grand scheme of things because both helms are itemized pretty well, with this one (again) being the better of the two because it favors haste.

Please don't mistake this as an LOL ELE SHAMMY ITAM GTFO GUISY post. I'm comparing two items in regards to one spec of one class. If you can equip it and the stats are proper for your spec, go for it!

It looks like they took a mold of Kim Kardashian's face and made it a helm.

Seems to really suit a Tauren race. Helm shape an all. On other Races it kinda looks odd. Might look nice on my hunter as hes a Tauren. Then again Eyes of Bewilderment would Be more preferred for a hunter Class. Still Both helms are in the loot drops in the same dun, so theres a 2 chances if you sought for this nice looking helm.
